Sažetak
We consider a nonstationary 3D flow of a compressible viscous heat-conducting micropolar fluid, which is in the thermodynamical sense perfect and polytropic, in the domain bounded with two concentric spheres in ${; ; ; \bf R^3}; ; ; $. In this paper we establish the existence of a global solution to the free boundary problem defined with the homogeneous boundary conditions for velocity, microrotation, heat flux on the fixed border and homogeneous boundary conditions for strain, microrotation, and heat flux on the free boundary. We suppose that the initial data are spherically symetric, with positive initial density and temperature, having the zero density on the free boundary. Because of the spherical symmetry, the starting three-dimensional problem is transformed to the one-dimensional problem in Lagrangian coordinates in the domain that is a segment. The solution to our problem is obtained as a limit of the sequence of approximate solutions derived from suitable semidiscrete finite difference approximate systems. By using the derived bounded estimates of the approximate solutions and the results of the weak and strong compactness, we establish the convergence to the generalized solution of our problem globally in time.
